Located in Rio, Patras, PLAY ΟΠΑΠ is presented primarily as a casino venue. User feedback provides a mixed, though predominantly critical, view of the establishment, highlighting experiences ranging from enjoyment to significant frustration and allegations of unfair practices.
One older review, dating back seven years, expressed a positive sentiment, describing PLAY ΟΠΑΠ as a "Great place" and specifically recommending the "Smash the Pig" game. This suggests that at one point, the venue offered an enjoyable gaming experience for some visitors.
More recent reviews, spanning the last one to three years, paint a starkly different picture, focusing heavily on negative experiences and perceived issues with the gaming environment and customer service. These concerns can be categorized as follows:
The most prominent and severe criticism revolves around the perception that the gaming machines are rigged or programmed for losses. One user emphatically states, "FRAUD!!! EVERYTHING COMPLETELY SET UP AND CHECKED WITH USE CARD IN THE MACHINES! AN ABSOLUTE PROGRAMMING." This reviewer suggests that payouts are mathematically controlled based on player frequency, mood, and past performance, making genuine winning virtually impossible. They also compare the venue unfavorably to "casinos of Bulgaria" in terms of "dignity and truth."
Multiple users report consistently losing money, with comments like "it only sucks money, nothing else, shame, you always lose, I lost 4 times" and "Hashura around the world all the crying customers leave 😥." The general consensus among these reviews is that the machines are designed to ensure players leave empty-handed.
Beyond the gaming itself, some visitors have reported issues with hospitality. One customer mentioned being "UNACCEPTABLE" and told by a "rude woman at the reception" that after playing for 5.5 hours and spending significant money, they were only entitled to water and "nothing else" in terms of complimentary refreshments. Another review criticizes the venue for selling basic items like water, soda, and snacks while players are "losing 100 times their value in record time."
While an older review indicates a positive experience, the more recent feedback for PLAY ΟΠΑΠ in Rio (Patras) is overwhelmingly negative. The most significant concerns raised by patrons include allegations of unfair and rigged gaming machines, consistent losses, and unsatisfactory customer service regarding complimentary offerings. Prospective visitors should be aware of these strong criticisms when considering a visit to this establishment.
FRAUD!!!EVERYTHING COMPLETELY SET UP AND CHECKED WITH USE CARD IN THE MACHINES! AN ABSOLUTE PROGRAMMING, NOT ALWAYS THE SAME WAY...BASED ON PLAYER Mood/MOOD OF PLAY AND FREQUENCY, IE. HOW OFTEN DOES HE GO AND PLAY, HOW MUCH DOES HE PLAY, AND OF COURSE HOW MUCH DOES HE LOSE AND HOW MUCH DOES HE WIN!!! WITH A MATHEMATICAL EQUATION, EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL EARN, HOW MUCH YOU WILL REMEMBER, IN THE IMMEDIATE NEXT YEAR! DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEN YOU GO, IT WILL GIVE YOU PROPER EARNINGS, TO "PAY IT BACK" ACCORDING TO THE FREQUENCY YOU GO! THE ONLY LUCKY WINNER IS THE ONE WHO WILL WIN EVEN €100 AND WILL NOT RECAP AGAIN!!!ALSO, THE FOOLISHNESS AT ITS GREATEST WHEN THEY SELL YOU THE WATER, THE SOD, THE SNACK... WHILE YOU LOSE 100 TIMES THEIR VALUE IN RECORD TIME. GREATER DIGNITY AND TRUTH IN THE CASINOS OF BULGARIA (WHICH INSPIRED THE WHOLE FAIRY TALE).
I WAS UNACCEPTABLE FOR 5.5 HOURS AND I WAS TOLD BY A RUDE WOMAN AT THE RECEPTION THAT I AM NOT ENTITLED TO ANY SOFTWARE BUT ONLY WATER AND NOTHING ELSE. SHAME WE ARE PLAYING FOR SO MUCH MONEY
It's open, it only sucks money, nothing else, shame, you always lose, I lost 4 times.
